Perfect Great Loop Boat!!! Very shallow hull draft and low air draft, and efficient to operate. This pretty lady should definitely be considered by anyone aspiring to experience the Great Loop or cruise the Bahamas (or any other waters for that matter). She is a "must-see"!
"Starlight" is an absolutely stunning and rare custom-built yacht that was designed and built by the famous Huckins Yacht in Jacksonville, FL. Founded in 1928, Huckins is known throughout the industry of designing and building a very high quality product with exquisite (and certainly recognizable) classic lines, a patented Quadraconic hull design, and flawless joinery. She is all composite, extremely efficient, tracks perfectly straight in a sea, and draws only 2'6"- allowing her to cruise in waters that most yachts of her size do not have access to. Her hull design is so efficient that she can plane on only one engine, and cruises an easy 22 knots with a top end of 30 knots with her twin Cummins QSM11 670hp power package (3670 total hours) coupled with Hamilton 403 jet drives- which have recently been fully serviced. She is not only efficient, but she provides for an excellent ride in a sea. Originally built for a gentleman who designed custom aircraft interiors for a living, his influence in her interior layout and design are evident upon inspection. Her second owners, who are quite seasoned yacht owners, have done nothing but improve upon an already perfect work of art. A list of these improvements are available in the full listing below. Some of her more notable features include:
Joystick controls
Max Power hydraulic bow thruster
(2) Big Bay navigation computers (recently installed)
(3) touch-screen navigation monitors at helm (recently installed)

(6) Marine Air Reverse Cycle AC/heating units (3 on bridge deck, 1 in salon, 1 in master stateroom, 1 in guest stateroom)
Full-beam master stateroom with centerline queen berth and "Jack and Jill" head aft (head with sink and vanity to port, head with sink and vanity to starboard, with a roomy shower between the two heads), two large hanging lockers, washer/dryer, abundant drawer storage, two hampers, and natural lighting through portholes.
